This next batch of cards is 100% inspired by Emma over at Puddleside Musings — I was especially taken by the sunburst design she created in Making Simple Cards from Scraps. I don't have a lot of Christmassy paper scraps, but I do have whole pads of paper which really need using 🙂 Now, I… Continue reading Patterned paper Christmas
One of the nice things about taking part in the Daily Marker colouring challenge is that I get to make my pile of printed digi stamps a bit smaller. Or at least I do on those occasions when I remember to check how many I have before printing a whole load of extras just in… Continue reading Reindeer pair
Another small batch of Christmas cards; unlike recent batches, these are not all identical, but they are made with the same techniques and layout. I've used Brusho before, but mostly in the "add Brusho, spray with water and fingers crossed it looks okay" way. These were a bit more controlled.

I thought I'd have a go at doing a snowman on kraft card, after all, white stands out on kraft, whereas on white… Continue reading Snowman on kraft
This is probably my favourite of the batches of cards I've made so far this year. When I saw the poinsettia edger die I just couldn't resist picking it up and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. It's a simple design, though inlaying the poinsettia flower was a bit fiddly and… Continue reading Poinsettia inlay
